The Acting Dean of the Cathedral, The Very Rev’d Alister Hendery, spoke at both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services with messages of new life.  

We welcomed many people into the Cathedral for the Christmas eucharist services.

On Christmas Eve he spoke of  “the hopes and fears of all the years” (as sung in a carol), and that Christ meets all who seek light in darkness, all who long for hope, all who dare to believe that love can be born again.

On Christmas Day, Alister spoke of the birth of a baby, ‘our vulnerable God’.  “God offers this miracle again and again: new life, fresh beginnings, love that will not let us go.”
